Effect of visual representation of the conceptual structure of the domain on science learning and navigation in a hypertext environment. Puntambekar, S. & Goldstein, J. Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 16(4):429–459, 2007.
abstract   bibtex   
With the proliferation of technology, electronic texts in the form of hypertext and hypermedia systems as well as digital libraries are increasingly being used in scientifi c inquiry. Dig- ital or hypertext documents are nonlinear and fl exible, and enable students to follow their own investigation paths. How- ever, the fl exibility also poses challenges for students because it pushes students them to make decisions as they selectively browse through the space. The research described in this ar- ticle aimed to understand (1) how providing students with a visual representation that mirrors the conceptual structure of the domain affects navigation and learning and (2) whether continued use of a hypertext system enables students to learn from it regardless of its structure.
